Came to the United States on a visitor visa. Lived for a few month in Orchard Park, later in South Buffalo. Had lived in the South Buffalo apartment for 5 years while taking English Language classes for adults in downtown Buffalo and later working. Decided to stay in America. Got green card and later became an American citizen. Bought a house and moved to the Lackawanna/Blasdell area.
Lived in Elma/East Aurora for 40 years and split after the winter of 1999. Couldn't take the harsh winters no more. Throwing snow off my roof, was it for me. I'd return if the employment situation was right.
I moved here int he 1960s to go to college in the city. Then I went to the city campus of UB ( no north campus then). I married a local. I have lived in Buffalo, north of the city and way east......
I worked here over 30 years (closer to 40 if you count college jobs), raised my family here ( kids and spouse are still here and with good jobs). My husband worked here even longer.
You could not pay me to move unless it was perhaps to New England and free!!
Buffalo has alot of hidden gems especially in employment. If I joined corporate america again, I'd consider getting into a business that does business in Buffalo so I could transfer. I don't beleive that's going to happen though.
I miss the food, the people, the sarcasim, telling it like it is, Elmwood Taco's and SUb (they ahd the best wings), Sweet Tooth on Elmwood, and many others. I know i can swing all this in a visit, but the Climate is relaly the deal breaker now.
Born and raise in South Buffalo - You can take the girl out of NY but you cannot take the NY out of the girl. In the south they have redneck and i have my NY temper.
met a guy who works for Buffalo BioDiesel the other day. They pick up local restaurants waste grease and turned into biodiesel. I didn't know that we had such a company here in Buffalo.

With our love of chicken wings, it is probably very profitable!!

My best Buffalo story is... I'm raising my children in the same neighborhood their great-grandfather was brought up in. The same neighborhood my great-grandfather died in. My best Buffalo story is my family history, four generations on both sides.

My husband's family was from Buffalo and points south... you could never safely bring kids up where he was born (on E. Ferry, when it was a nice blue-collar area)..... If I lived where I had grown up ( downstate), my daughters would have been 5th generation in the town. I moved here, loved it and stayed... marry a local, you stay here!

Shortly after moving off the East Side into the neighborhood I'm in now was when I discovered my great-grandfather raised his family a few blocks away. He passed on in 1941 but I sometimes try to imagine myself walking in his footsteps down the same streets, in the same park.
